Effective Communication

cP1In my placement I had an experience with a girl that she doesn’t get along with her sister. She talked to me and told me that her sister tries to get her and her mother arguing and how always wants to get her way. She is frustrated for her sister’s behavior and disappointed how much they don’t get along. Effective in communication when having a one-to one interaction is when there is a conversation between two persons who both understands one another. To be done we have to practice certain attitude. First we have to choose the right atmosphere where the conversation is going to take place. It is more effective when the place/room have enough light, worm and not too small or big. When meeting the other person of the 1 to 1 conversation we help him feel comfortable, relaxed and showing positive attitude with a greeting by saying ‘Hi’ or ‘Good evening’. After that a conversation or information exchange can be started, where the client will tell you about the problem. And to finish effectively and on a positive note you say for instance ‘thanks and see you later’. This interaction was formal because it took place in a health and care setting. I used this type of interaction because I was talking to a client and was polite and respected her and so made her feel comfortable to give me personal information. Yes there were differences in language communication and culture because the service-user was English. She had different culture practice and had fluent English speaking and so I didn’t understand all the phrases she said and in the other hand I might have used jargons. So I made sure of checking for understanding. I used open questions as a verbal communication where this helped her to open more about her problem. For instance I asked her ‘what your sister does to you?’ Another verbal communication I used is summarization, this helped me and the client to see if I understood the problem and what really is she going to do about it. I used eye contact as a non-verbal communication. This helped me to see how the client was feeling and letting her know I’m interested in what she’s saying. Another non-verbal communication that used was proximity. I made sure that I wasn’t too close for her that would make her feel uncomfortable and also unsecure and so I stayed about an arm-length away from her. The communication cycle in this interaction was according to argyle, a two-way process. This is because she was sharing her idea i.e. situation with me and I was checking for understanding and giving her feedback, and so the cycle begun again. All these factors that I have included in here are important for communication to be effective in a one-to-one interaction.

In a placement we had a group interaction of 8 individuals and we had discussed about abortion. There were people who didn’t agree with it, people who agree and those who in some cases agree with. Effective in communication when having a group interaction is when there is a conversation between three or more people. Group interaction is very similar to one-to-one interaction but because there are more people involved several issues would be created additionally. There should be a positive feeling in the group and all the individuals should feel comfortable talking to each other to make this interaction effective. Also for an effective interaction there should be a group leader, preparation, turn talking and seating position. A group leader is effective to make sure everyone is participating and for those who keep a step back to be encouraged. Also a group leader can help to keep everyone focused and keep discussion on track. Preparation is effective because it keeps discussion on track and might save time. It can make members to participate more willingly as they had prepared what to say. Turn talking is important because it will let everyone speak and with no chaos. With the non-verbal’s members in the group can recognize when the speaker is going to finish his...

Effectivecommunication and the Basic Elements of Communication
The basic elements of effectivecommunication include many active processes. The first process is active listening. Active listening means to listen with the intention of understanding. When communicating effectively there is a sender and receiver. The sender originates a communication message. The sender will encode messages to support or emphasize emotions regarding the message. The sender will encode messages to support or emphasize emotions regarding the message. The receiver must assign meaning to and understand the communication message. The second...

Express or exchange information or to express your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., to someone
Else.” ("Merriam-Webster", 2015). Communication in any criminal justice setting involves both
verbal and non-verbal communication, whether it be inside the organization itself or outside in
the community. In order for a law enforcement agency to function properly both forms of
communication are critical.

Barriers To EffectiveCommunication Paper

This paper will discuss the process of communication and its components. The differences between listening and hearing within communication will be reviewed. Formal and informal channels of communication will be described and the different barriers between effectivecommunications will be assessed. Lastly, strategies that may be implemented to overcome communication barriers will be examined.
The process of communication can be described within five steps. The five steps of the communication process include: transmitting an idea, sending the idea, receiving the message, understanding the message and providing feedback to the sender (Wallace &amp; Roberson, 2009). Transmitting an idea involves the development of a thought or thoughts and then a need to divulge the information to another person is conceived. Sending the idea is the way in which the thought is transmitted from one person to the next. This could be done verbally, in writing or by portraying an action to someone else. The intended party must then confirm receipt of the message. If this does not occur then the transmittal of the message...

Humans communicate with each other countless time throughout the day. Communication is to transfer an idea from the sender to the receiver(s), which may require feedback from the receiver. The communicated information can be in the form of a letter, e-mail, memo, or text message. The goal of communication is to convey a message that will be understood by the receiver(s) of the message. Communication can be in the written form, verbal form, or nonverbal form of transferring information to the receiver(s). Communication barriers can prevent effectivecommunication, which can hinder the flow of information between the sender and receiver(s). The following paper will discuss barriers to effectivecommunication, and strategies implemented to overcome communication barriers.
The process of communication and its components
The sender has an idea and decides to communicate the information to another party or parties. The sender then encodes the message by converting his or her information into words or gestures that will convey meaning to the receiver, but the encoding of the information has to be a shared system of understanding language or gestures that both parties understand without prejudice. This stage...

Abstract
Over the course of this paper effectivecommunication will be broken down into different categories. The categories will consist of verbal and nonverbal communication, differences between listening and hearing in communication, formal and informal lines of communication, barriers in effectivecommunication, and strategies that can be implemented to overcome the communication barriers. The categories will be broken down and reviewed throughout the paper and I will explain the differences between certain categories. The formal and informal communication category will be a comparison between the two and will be broken down even further. There are many barriers in communication and I will be explaining what there is that can be done to overcome those barriers.

On a day-to-day basis we work with people who have different opinions, values, beliefs, and needs than our own. Our ability to exchange ideas with others, understand others' perspectives, solve problems and successfully utilize the steps and processes presented in this training will depend significantly on how effectively we are able to communicate with others. The act of communicating involves verbal and nonverbal components. The verbal component refers to the content of our message‚ the choice and arrangement of our words. The nonverbal component refers to the message we send through our body language. The paraverbal component refers to how we say what we say - the tone, pacing and volume of our voices.
In order to communicate effectively, we must use all three components to do two things:
1. Send clear, concise messages.
2. Hear and correctly understand messages someone is sending to us. Our use of language has tremendous power in the type of atmosphere that is created at the problem-solving table. Words that are critical, blaming, judgmental or accusatory tend to create a resistant and defensive mindset that is not conducive to productive problem solving. On the other hand, we can choose words that normalize the issues and problems and reduce resistance. Phrases such as "in some districts, people may . . .",...

Verbal and nonverbal communication process
Verbal communication requires the transmission of an idea, sending the idea through a medium, receiving the message, understanding the idea and providing feedback to the message sender. (Wallace and Roberson, 2009). Nonverbal communication uses the process of sending and receiving wordless cues between people. When you transmit an idea their has to be a message generated by an event. It can be there is a new procedure being added to the Standard Operating Procedures of a police department. That idea that was formed must be sent through a medium, which can be verbal or oral. It can be in the form of a handout given to all employees to ensure everyone is aware of the new change. By distributing the message the employees have received the message. The receivers must be able to understand the idea being communicated. And therefore feedback is essential to the sender. Nonverbal communication messages can be expressed through gestures and touch, body language or posture, facial expression and eye contact. An example of nonverbal communication can be when an officer tells another officer to come over...
